Thank you Petet63 I managed to read Bernards post and thank you Bernard I saw your pictures of a pink bowl and the previous posts. Gorgeous.!!! I still think they are British pears ! There were two of these uranium ones on Ebay in the last week or so. I bought this one they both had silver plated rims. They glow lovely under UV. Oh well another mystery one for the cabinet. I was hoping there was a mark under the silver plated rim.

Bernard C. ...I just bought one of another one of these 3 pear basket on ebay and it has a LID with more fruit on...cherry's, strawberries etc . It is uranium and the seller thinks it was bought in France. I will post some pictures as soon as it arrives.

the pear basket with lid has arrived at last and is gorgeous !! See pictures below..... it has pears, cherrys, strawberries and grapes on so I guess it was a jam pot. The lid is difficult to get on and off as the cherry knob on top is very slippery and must have easily got broken. Its the first one I have seen with a lid !!

Angela — That's lovely. ... and useful, as the lid may be the essential element in identifying it from a trade catalogue. It's a spectacular piece. It is such fine workmanship that it has to be a well known mouldmaker and manufacturer. I am now even more convinced that it's not British.
